Attached: 1 image The Tensor G3 is the first smartphone SoC to support hardware-accelerated AV1 encoding. It supports AV1 encoding at up to 4K60. No application (including the Pixel Camera app) takes advantage of this, though, likely due to a lack of platform support.

      No other smartphone SoC supports AV1 encoding, not the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Dimensity 9300, or Exynos 2400

          Because there is no need for now compared to cost and efficiency.

          Decoding - yes and I believe the last gen has that because streaming services are switching to AV1. However, only creators really would stream and make use of the encoding features.

          Sorry, that was just a quote from the article. You’d have to ask Chip manufacturers why they’re not including this hardware encoder/decoder.

          its computationally intensive, so for platforms where battery life is a significant factor, its prioritized less.
